“Without the unintended consequences?” Which means with the intended consequences, right? More fear is generated by a deadly explosion than by a failed attempt.
I was referring to massive military retaliation. Why invite further military action when you can accomplish the main target - creating fear and doubt in America.
Now, I realize that the chances of such military action is greatly reduced by the WH Occupant; but would he defy the American people’s cry for retaliation?
Psycholocically, creating terror in the minds of the citizenry is a weapon as powerful as a bomb.
